The build pairs the UNO Q with Modulino Distance, Motors, and Buzzer modules plus an Arduino USB-C Hub, and is programmed through Arduino App Lab for head and arm movement, buzzer, distance sensing, and display functions. The project is positioned as a hands-on platform for exploring robotics, computer vision, edge AI, and physical AI.", "body_md": "# JBR-001: A Desktop Companion Robot Powered by Arduino UNO Q\n\n## JBR-001 is an open-source desktop companion robot powered by the Arduino® UNO™ Q and built to make robotics, computer vision, edge AI, and physical AI fun to explore.\n\nDevices & Components\n\n1\n\nArduino® UNO™ Q 2GB\n\n1\n\nModulino™ Distance\n\n1\n\nModulino™ Motors\n\n1\n\nModulino™ Buzzer\n\n1\n\nArduino USB-C Hub (8 in 1)\n\nHardware & Tools\n\n1\n\nDesktop 3D Printer\n\nSoftware & Tools\n\nArduino App Lab\n\nProject description\n\nCode\n\nJBR-001 Source Code\n\nGitHub repository with JBR-001 source code\n\nJBR-001 Source Code\n\ncpp\n\nhead and arms movement, buzzer, distance, display\n\nDownloadable files\n\nJBR-001-schematics\n\nJBR-001 wiring schematics\n\nJBR-001-schematics.png\n\nDocumentation\n\nJBR-001 Assembly Instructions\n\nAssembly instructions PDF file.\n\nJBR-001 Assembly Instructions.pdf\n\nJBR-001 documentation\n\nAssembly instructions\n\nhttps://github.com/syntheticAIdata/JBR-001\n\nComments", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-jbr-001-an-open-source-3d-printable-desktop-robot", "canonical_source": "https://projecthub.arduino.cc/syntheticaidata/jbr-001-a-desktop-companion-robot-powered-by-arduino-uno-q-b11c96", "published_at": "2026-09-29 10:05:56+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-29 10:18:22.801516+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["robotics", "ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Synthetic AI Data", "JBR-001", "Arduino UNO Q", "Arduino", "Modulino Distance", "Modulino Motors", "Modulino Buzzer", "Arduino App Lab"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-jbr-001-an-open-source-3d-printable-desktop-robot", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-jbr-001-an-open-source-3d-printable-desktop-robot.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-jbr-001-an-open-source-3d-printable-desktop-robot.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-jbr-001-an-open-source-3d-printable-desktop-robot.jsonld"}}
